Chicago, Feb. 12-The temperature
dropped to zero this morning, the
weather having grown cold steadily
throughout the night. Trees, shrub.
berry and telegraph wives are covered
with a thick coating of frosty sleet, end
the telegraph service is badly crippled
again IN consequence. The wires in
some instances nave been borne down
under their heavy loads. At various
points south and west of this city the
ice Is 80 thick and heavy on telegraph
wires as to not only snap and carry them
down, but in many cases telegraph poles
also have been broken and thrown down.
The cold weather has checked the foods
in the southwestern and northwestern
portions of the city and the water in the
Chicago river and streams which iced it
is rapidly falling.
Detroit, Feb. 12-Free Press specials
say that it is freezing rapidly at Lyons,
and that in consequence there is suffer
ing. The residents of that place hope
for delay in the Lansing ice gorge, which
had been expected tonight. The Ice
grounded in Grand river Just below
Lyons, and piling tier upon tier in q
short time formed q complete dam and
changed the current of the river straight
through the center of the business part
of the village. The water and Ice is four
feet deep on the street level and sweeps
through the buildings, tearing out win
dows and doors even when it leaves the

the river this evening is directly through
the office and dining room of the hotel,
but through every store in the place the
water is rushing at o terrific rate. Ii
the severe frost of tonight should change
to q thaw scarcely q business place
would be left and twenty or thirty dwell
ings would go with them.
